ilmalämmityspumppu

An ilmalämmityspumppu, also known as an air-to-air heat pump or air source heat pump, is a type of heating and cooling system that transfers heat from the outside air to the inside of a building, or vice versa. It functions by utilizing a refrigerant cycle to absorb heat from one location and release it in another. During the heating season, it extracts heat from the outdoor air, even at low temperatures, and transfers it indoors. In the cooling season, the process is reversed, removing heat from the indoor air and expelling it outside.

These systems consist of an outdoor unit containing a compressor and a condenser, and an indoor unit that houses an evaporator and a fan. The refrigerant circulates between these units, changing its state from liquid to gas and back again to facilitate heat transfer. Ilmalämmityspumput are a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications due to their energy efficiency, as they move heat rather than generating it, leading to lower energy consumption compared to traditional electric resistance heating. They also offer the convenience of providing both heating and cooling from a single system. Installation typically involves connecting the indoor and outdoor units with refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. Maintenance usually includes regular filter changes and professional servicing to ensure optimal performance.
